The MPG on the Bronco must be pretty good compared to these two! I like your style.


Believe it or not the Roush is the best of the three.

The CTS-V is the worst. Lifetime average is 16mpg, the Bronco is at 17mpg and the Roush is slightly better.

That is surprising. I have a 2008 GT500 convertible and if I get more than 10-11 mpg, I feel lucky. And that car has just 500 ponies under the hood. I would have expected the Roush, even being newer and more efficient, with 700+ hp would have been under 15 mpg. Hey... maybe I can justify buying a Roush with over 700 horses as being environmentally repsonsible! My 77 Cadillac isn't exactly pulling up the mpg average.

I love, LOVE that Eldorado.

My parents had a ‘77 Coupe deVille. Many great memories in that car. They later purchased a new 1991 Brougham d’Elegance.

I guess the issue is as king as you stay out of boost. In the end the CTS-V has a 6.2L supercharged V8 where as the Roush has the 5.0 supercharged V8.

I did recently have a track day with the Roush. Three 15 minute sessions. Started out with a full tank and had to fill up before the third session.

Tanks for the appreciation of the Cadillac. The Eldo has under 23,000 orignal miles on her. She's gorgeous in person (if I do say so myself). And that car is the worst offender as the Caddy gets about 8 mpg. But she looks good doing it!

I can't stay out of boost on the Shelby. That's where the fun is! MPG be damned!

Maybe 2nd. There is one guy with a 12.5% loan on a bronco.
A Big Bend no less. Then they boasted about having a combined income of 130K with no mortgage. Yet, they are still paying a Big Bend note at 12.5%. 🤡

Seriously…???
Don’t elicit financial knowledge from this person if this has any authenticity as to actual economic long term fiscal decision making that this monetary neophyte has exibited.

I'll trade my Goblin for this thing! I've wanted a Model A for years, but eventually gave up finding a nice one.
